Syntax 2009 - C64 Demo - Chase That Feeling - Warriors of the Wasteland - (1st)

The Winning demo from Syntax Demo Party 2009, Melbourne, Australia. Captured live at the party from a real Commodore 64.

More info from the man himself at: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=84155&show=notes#notes

You should really download the demo, put it across to a floppy (or cart) and watch it on a Commodore CRT monitor for the full 50fps effect!

Sounds like a drowning R2-D2.

@sampleshmasher:

no, on real c64 it sounds the same.

I wonder how this would sound on a 8580, which is much less 'clicky'. I actually like the rough edges though I wish there'd be a v1.1 or perhaps even an engine/tool release.

please could anyone play this on a real c64 please!!! i think it's only strange when it's emulated....

[rvounik]

its not sampled speech, its synthesized speech that plays throughout the whole demo. havent seen that before on c64. but then I could be mistaken, I wasnt at the party and havent had time to play this demo on a real c64.

Interesting visual effects (even if the girl at 0:55 looks 15...), but the sound is horrible. I can't understand how the demo won with such terrible sound. Either it isn't supposed to sound like this, or everybody at the show was deaf.

@rvounik - I still think this is very poor.. I've heard better speech on the C64.. so my question is - is this poor emulation or is this taken off a real C64 with a bad SID chip and filters?

[rvounik]

@robbiew73 if you listen closely its actually the speech synthesizer that you're hearing. which is quite amazing :)
